And Donny will scream-tweet, and thereby lose even MORE white suburban women, and any chance of winning in Michigan.

Mafucker is stupid.

Yes stochastic terrorism is a thing proven by this incident.

I applaud the Michigan Governor for saying so.

Michigan a hotbed for white nationalist militias

It’s been that way for at least 30 years.

In places, they’ve made it dangerous to hike our Michigan woods.

Yep. He’s been stoking these groups and their shit for four long years. It was that asshole that stoked this too.

Personally, I’d like to liberate my state from tRump and tRumpism, thank you very much.

He appeared motivated by the governor’s COVID-19 public health efforts, including her lockdown of gyms, according to court filings, which quoted a Facebook video in which Fox called Whitmer a “tyrant bitch.”

'Roid rage starts at the top.

This is the state of America under Donald Trumpy. Will he condemn this right wing stunt. No he will not.

I hope there are state charges against each of these men. Would not be at all surprised if Trump tries to pardon them after losing the election. Sounds crazy? Crazy like a Trump. There is no bottom for him.

The House should immediately draft impeachment articles and muck up Mitch’s timetable. Impeachment articles take priority over anything else - although I’m sure he’ll change that rule, but why not try.

OT but not. MSNBC interviewing a reporter who was attacked in Brooklyn for reporting on the COVID Rule protests there.

Sadly…it was members of the Hasidic community doing it. Calling him a snitch. And they had Trump flags. What the actual Fuck?

“When our leaders meet with, encourage or fraternize with domestic terrorists, they legitimize their actions and they are complicit. When they stoke and contribute to hate speech, they are complicit.”

You are to be congratulated for the incredibly brave and strong women that your state elected. Nessel and Whitmer are truly Mama Lions.

When the bums are formally charged and go to trial, Trump should be listed as an unindicted co-conspirator.

Speaking of unindicted co-conspirators, when Trump leaves office, and is no longer protected by secret OLC memos giving him a ‘stay out of jail’ card, maybe he should be tried on the charges that Michael Cohen was convicted and sent to prison for committing.

The satisfaction at seeing the Confederate Party thugs and disinfo pushers discover that polarization works both ways is immense. Trump has IMO already decisively lost MI and hopefully the state GOP will be kneecapped.
